[SHM] Tainted Bond & Mischief of the Phooka

Nocturnus · 04-14-2008, 03:44 PM

BAM two more enchantments for this Urza set

Tainted Bond

Enchantment (R)
Whenever a land comes into play under an opponents control that player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
Michael Sutfin
74/301

Okay... next one is a pain.......

Mischief of the Phooka

Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep you may exchange control of a target non-land-permanent you control and target non-land-permanent an opponent controls with converted manacost equal or less than your permanent.
Scott Altmann
47/301

OKay... phew... I know the wording is a bit off... but compare to the german version:

Unfug des Phookas

Verzauberung (R)
Zu Beginn deines Versorgungssegments kannst du die Kontrolle über eine bleibende Karte deiner Wahl, die kein Land ist und die du kontrollierst, und eine bleibende Karte deiner Wahl die kein Land ist, die ein Gegner kontrolliert und die gleich hohe oder niedrigere umgewandelte manakosten hat, tauschen.

Thats some rulestext...... note that our verbs are at the end of the sentences or at the end of enumerations. So tauschen=exchange

Wow. This is a set that's shaping up to transform multiplayer. Soooooo many cards that are going to make a splash in Free-For-Alls or Two-Headed Giant.

Of course that means that there's going to be a lot of constructed and limited junk, but I guess there's no pleasing everyone.

Xathrax · 04-14-2008, 03:47 PM

The first one is ok, but the other one is too complex for my puny mind

Khift · 04-14-2008, 03:47 PM

Why are there so many terrible rare enchantments in this set?

Mantra · 04-14-2008, 03:47 PM

Donate on steroids? Nice food for thought. Thanks for the info.

duffman913 · 04-14-2008, 03:47 PM

I like the Tainted Bond.. seems fun, but will not be constructed playable. Thanks again Nocturnus.

FirstType · 04-14-2008, 03:48 PM

"Pooka", "pookas", "phooka", "phookas" all get 0 hits in the Orb, so the word in the card name must be some other synonym.

Lol, the German text of Mischief of the ?? looks hilarious!

I foresee potential disputes over card ownership, because not everyone is going to be careful about keeping track of who owns which card as they move around.

sneakyhomunculus · 04-14-2008, 03:48 PM

I like the second one, but I like everything that is Blue and copies or steals stuff.

I like both of these keep it coming!

Frein · 04-14-2008, 03:48 PM

Hmm, both seem pretty bad for their mana costs. Perhaps Mischief can be broken somehow, but I don't know how. Anti-Tarmogoyf tech? :P

Blutsau · 04-14-2008, 03:51 PM

I can confirm the translation. Though the name seems off, as it seems to be only one Phooka and the english version sounds like plural. could be a titel or something then it would fit.

Khift · 04-14-2008, 03:51 PM

We have 17 rare enchantments so far in this set. *barf*

EDIT: Try Puka in the orb.

Ulthwithian · 04-14-2008, 03:51 PM

Well, Mischief seems like a Spawnbroker every turn. That could be amusing.

the_fish · 04-14-2008, 03:52 PM

"Mischief" is powerful in limited: you consistently trade your -1/-1 weakened stuff for their fancy creatures. It can even trade itself away in a pinch, but then they get to grab your thing back so it's probably not worth it.

The black enchantment is borderline playable (limited)...4 point life swings are fun, but I think he comes down too late to have an impact. Maybe if they have lots of fat or X spells.

Not Tainted Bond, maybe Polluted Tether?
